A/N: Tomorrow's the day of my driving tests. Last time I talked about it was to see if I was elligible to drive. Now that I've passed that part of the test, I've been studying. And I've just finished studying too so I thought I'd write this at the last second. Better not waste anymore time. Let's go.

Disclaimer: Zootopia and all its characters (except for my own) belongs to Disney.

The next day at the ZPD, every officers were at the bull pen waiting for Chief Bogo to come in. Judy and Nick saw the usual thing: Big animals arm wrestling, talking loudly, yada yada yada.

But they also noticed someone else. There were two new officers. They both look like… Wolves or dogs… One had a tannish black fur with a bushy tail and the other was a blackish brown one also with a bushy tail. They were sitting in front, right next to the couple's seat.

"Hi there!" Judy was the first to greet with a smile.

They turned to her and just stared.

"I'm Officer Judy Hopps and this is my partner," she brought out her paw to shake.

Nick smiled. "Officer Wilde," he simply introduced.

The new officer smiled back.

"Well, well," said the tannish black one. "Great to finally see a fox around here." Instead of shaking Judy's paw, he shook Nick's. "Name's Jake McGold. A jackal. And the one next to me is my partner, Darren Wile. A coyote."

"Whoa ho," Nick commented. "Never met any of your kinds before."

"Same here. We've never actually seen any foxes here."

Judy stared at the two and butted in. "So, you two new here?"

"Oh yea. We moved here like a week ago. Moved from Canide Town because of… The Modern Robin Hood."

Judy glanced at Nick. "So you two know about it?"

"It actually started all the way back at Canide Town. Didn't think it would be in Zootopia today."

Nick stared at the coyote. "You don't talk much, do you?"

Darren snarled and looked straight on.

"Don't mind him," said Jake. "He's just shy when it comes to new animals. This is the fourth time that we've moved to another department too."

"Was the Modern Robin Hood really that good?"

And just after her question, Chief Bogo entered and all the animals started growling just as they did every morning.

"Alright, alright," the Chief said. "Shut up!" And they all did as they were told. "There are two things that are on the lists. Number one, we have two new recruits. But who cares?"

Nick chuckled. "Don't worry about it. It's just what he does to the new guys."

"Number two, the Modern Robin Hood just appeared again last night. This time, the Fruit Exhibits. And has stolen the Golden Apple."

The officers in the room started talking to each other. It was the seventh time in only two weeks.

Nick yawned afterwards and Judy noticed this. "Not enough sleep?" she whispered.

"Oh no," he whispered back. "It was enough but… Just barely."

"Nick, we've talked about this. There's gonna be curfew if we're gonna live together."

"Assignments!" the Chief announced which made Judy's heart jumped and paid close attention. "Officer Wolfard, Fangmire, Delgato, Tundratown Bank. Officer Higgins, McHornn, Rhinowitz, Downtown Museum. Officer Hopps, Wilde, Fruit Exhibit. And lastly, the two new recruits, Officer McGold, Wile, city patrol. Find any clues or leads as to where this so-called Robin Hood is and make sure you all apprehend him. Dismiss."

The officers salute and leave the room to their station.

"Hey, Wilde," Jake said. "How about after work you show us around? Would be nice to see the city with the first fox in the force."

"Oh, um…" Nick rubbed the back of his head. "I got plans. Sorry."

"Ah, I see. Well, can't blame you."

"Nick! Come on!" Judy called.

The bunny and fox arrived at the exhibit and were scavenging for clues all around the place. Judy was asking the securities if they have witnessed anything suspicious during the night or the day before. Whereas, Nick was snooping around at every nooks and crannies he can find.

He looked at the cameras to find the perfect angle to where the blind spots could and scratched his head.

"Looks like we got nothing," Judy said, coming towards Nick.

"No kidding," Nick replied. "There are cameras at every angle. I guess everyone must really be afraid of this new Robin Hood stealing their stuff."

"Isn't Robin Hood suppose to be the good guy though?" Judy tapped the end of her pen on her chin.

"Steal from the rich, give to the poor. I'd say that's pretty much a good guy thing."

"So… If we can find any place where animals aren't wealthy, we might be able to find a lead."

"It's Zootopia, Carrots. No one here is poor. And even if there is one place that is poor, I couldn't think of anywhere else where that would be."

The two partners thanked the animals of the exhibit for their time and head out to the city.

And then, a thought struck Nick. "If I remembered correctly… I think Robin Hood was a red fox."

Judy quickly nudged. "Nick… Stop it…"

"I know, I know. But… What if this Modern Robin Hood only called himself that because he was a fox?"

The bunny's ears dropped when she remembered something. "Wait… What did Officer McGold said to you after we left the room?"

"He told me if I can show the city around for him and his partner."

Judy thought for a second. "And he was surprised you were a fox too…"

It took Nick a while to process that and he finally understood what she meant. "You mean… He's suspecting me…?" Nick looked down, ears dropped.

Judy stared at him and she hugged him. "I know you're not like that, Nick…" she said. "I trust you…"

He hugged back. "I know," he said softly. He leaned back in his seat and sighed. "You know… We aren't suppose to be lovey-dovey during work."

Judy's eyes widen and quickly pulled away. "Th-that was because it was an emergency!" she said blushing.

He chuckled. "Sure," he said sarcastically.

She looked away, looking all furious, but on the inside, she was smiling. She wanted to be close to him whenever Nick starts to doubt himself.

"Hey, Carrots," Nick called, shaking her shoulders. "Can you go buy me a pawpsicle?"

She looked at him. "Why not you go yourself?"

"Too sad…" he said, sounding sad.

She punched him playfully which made him laugh. "Alright, fine," she said before leaving the car.

"And make sure it's blueberry!" Nick reminded.

Luckily the ice-cream parlor is just right around the corner. She could use the break for now too.

"Two pawpsicles? One cherry and one blueberry," she ordered.

"Oh… Sorry…" said the cashier, a pig. "But we're all out of pawpsicles. We have ice-cream though."

"But, my partner and I always go for pawpsicles."

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but a customer bought all of them."

"Who?"

"That guy who just left." The pig pointed out the door right before the customer was out of sight.

Judy chased after him. Luckily she saw what he was wearing before he turned the corner. A grey hoodie with the hood up and tan colored cargo pants.

"Excuse me!" she called out but the animal kept walking. "Sir! Please stop!"

She grabbed on his arm and he quickly turned to face her. He looked down at her and put his hood down.

She felt intimidated for a reason. He was… A fox.

The fox then removed his earphone. "Yes, officer?"

"Oh, you were listening to music. My bad."

He shook his head in annoyance. "Can I help?" he said, sounding annoyed.

"Um, yes. You see, I was just about to buy a couple of pawpsicles and… I thought maybe I can have them? I'll pay even."

He glared at her. "What flavor?"

"Uh… Cherry and blueberry."

He looked into the bag and gave them to her. "Here."

It was what she asked for. Blueberry and cherry. She took them nervously and thanked him. "How much is it?" she asked looking into her wallet. And just when she looked up at him, he walked away from her.

She kept quiet and thought. There was another fox in Zootopia… And not just any fox, but a red fox too. She remembered what Nick said about Robin Hood. And she immediately thought about the fox she just met. She decided to tail him to see where he was going.

He kept walking and walking to a place she's never been before, Flock Street. The streets were cold and barely anyone was in this district. As she followed him, he finally made a stopped and faced a flat before him.

The fox knocked on the door and waited for an answer. He tapped his feet until finally the door was opened by an old tigress.

"Oh, Max!" she said in surprised. "So good to see you finally!" The tigress hugged him with all her might.

"Argh! And you're still quite the hugger, Miss Tigerly!" he said being crushed by her hug.

Judy's ears dropped when she witnessed this.

The tigress let him go. "How long has it been?"

"Too long," said the fox who is known as Max as he removed his hood. He was smiling even. He offered her the bag full of pawpsicles. "Here. Bought something for the kids."

"Oh for heaven's sake, you don't have to…"

"It's fine, Miss. After all, I owe you all for such a long time."

"Miss Tigerly, who is…" said a young jaguar coming up behind her. He stopped midsentence when he saw the fox. He smiled and called out to the others. "Guys! Max is here!"

So many young animals all rushed towards the fox and gave him a hug.

"Whoa, easy there!" he said, laughing and rubbing their heads.

Judy once again, misjudged a fox. It was like how when she saw Nick the first time.

Max carried up a baby giraffe. "Look at you," he said measuring his height. "You're much taller than before."

There were so many kids of all different species around him and he calmed them down with pawpsicles. The all cheered in joy as they all got one each.

Max's smile slowly vanished. "I'm sorry, everyone," he said. "But I have to go now."

"Why?" said a baby racoon. "You just got here."

"I know," he said, rubbing the racoon's head. "But I have work. One day, when I actually have the time, I'll play with you all like old times, okay?"

"Okay…" they all answered, looking down with all their ears dropped.

Max on the other hand can't help but hug all of them. "I'm really sorry…" he said. "But I promise. I did keep my promise of being back right? So I'm gonna keep my promise that we'll play soon."

They all smiled slowly and hugged him back.

He stood up and waved goodbye to the kids and the old tigress, putting on his hood. And as he walked away, he stopped when he was right next to the alley where Judy was. "You saw…?" he said.

Judy slowly came out of shadows and just kept quiet.

"Just don't tell anyone…" he said. "Please."

"Why not?"

"The other animals will think I'm up to something with that orphanage."

"Orphanage…?"

"Yea," he said, turning to her. "It's not official either so if anyone finds out about it, that place has to go down. And also, I grew up in that place…"

Judy looked back at the flat at where he was at just now and then at him. "What happens if I do tell someone?"

He clenched his fist and looked down.

She noticed that he was wearing something else. Gloves. Leather too. She was starting to get suspicious of him.

"Just don't…" was all he could say. "No one would believe a fox… Even if I try to help them, they would still think I'll be up to something. So what's the point asking for help?"

Judy's ears slowly lifted themselves. He was just like Nick. What's more, a fox who believed that he is nothing more. Judy sighed.

"You have my word," she finally answered.

He looked at her.

"A good cop should do the right thing and… Seeing that those kids had nowhere else to go, I think it's best I keep it to myself."

He stared blankly at her and approached her slowly, taking off his hood.

She didn't move as she looked up at him. Blushing.

He then caressed her cheek which made her shiver. She was frozen at her track. He then took a sniff at her and pulled back.

"You know," he said. "If you weren't taken, I'd probably wanna ask you out."

Her blush turned redder and she laughed nervously. "Ah ha, well, I'm flattered really but…" It took a while for her to realized something. "How… Did you know I wasn't single?"

"The scent. I can just tell by it. But…" He looked at her carefully. "There's something odd about your scent…"

She gulped as she felt her heart skip a beat. She was confuse at this feeling. It's almost as if she's revisiting those moments she had with Nick. And to top it of, it was a red fox just like him. But she knew that Max and Nick are two different person and shook her head from the thought.

"I…" she said backing away. "I really should get going… I'm sure my boyfriend's worried sick about me."

He smiled at her which made her surprised even. "Well, you better. Don't keep your lover waiting, officer." Afterwards, his phone pinged when he got a text message. "As for me, I need to get back to work. See ya." He waved her goodbye and went on his way.

She turned away from him and walked slowly. "Uwaah! What am I doing?!" she thought, blushing. "I'm with Nick now! Why would I feel that way?! Maybe it was because it was like that moment with Nick… Nothing more…" She sighed, looking up at the sky before running towards her partner.

Nick was still in the car, texting his old friend. He yawned in boredom and looked up at the roof. "Where the heck are you, Carrots?" he thought.

Just when he thought of that, she entered the car quickly and panted.

"Took you long enough," he said sitting up. He noticed how heavy she was breathing. And… How red her face was. "You okay, Carrots?"

"Huh?" she quickly respond. "Oh uh, yea." She handed him his pawpsicle.

He looked at her. "What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing," she answered quickly, putting the pawpsicle in her mouth even though it was still unwrapped.

"So, eating an unwrapped pawpsicle is nothing?" Nick joked.

She stayed quiet for a minute and hugged him quickly. "I love you, Nick…" she said softly.

He looked at her in confuse and hugged her back. "I love you too. But why the sudden burst?"

She didn't say anything and just hugged him tighter. He shrugged and just let her do what she was doing. He patted her on the back and sighed. "What has gotten in to you?" he thought.

A/N: There you have it. Chapter 2. While studying, I've been thinking of how to introduced my OCs and I'm pretty proud of how I did it. So we have Officer Jake McGold and Darren Wile. Both partners from a place call Canide Town. And finally Max, my main OC. Hope you guys enjoy. And please… Just please. DO NOT SHIP MAX AND JUDY!

Max's appearance will be in my tumblr. Anyway, wish me luck for the test.
